Liz, It was just as well that you didn’t take time to pay much attention to Woodstock since clearly the whole concept came crashing down! At the time I must admit that I wondered why there was so much angst among my parents generation about the concept. As I’ve gotten older and I became more aware of exactly what they had endured by the time they were our age I realilzed one Depression followed by a Second World War would convince almost anyone that Neverland could not and would not exist. Tom Brokaw really did hit the nail on the head when he said that my parents generation was The Greatest Generation. America should be proud of and grateful to every last one of them.

Liz, I know what you mean.  I never got close to the upper middle class but had to work and concentrate on taking care of myself.  Woodstock was just another event to me until much later when I realized how it was a big deal in those days.  Guess living in San Francisco was an on-going Woodstock with musicians strumming guitars everywhere and getting more flowers (more like weeds actually) given to me around Haight Street.  It was so refreshing for awhile until the drugs made zombies of some of the kids and the free clinic was always crowded.

Wow, that was so long ago and yet it seems like last week.
